Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pegwell
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Pegwell, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Pegwell questions
Do you take on hotel work around Pegwell?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover smaller places like Pegwell?
Yes. Pegwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

Commercial buildings in Pegwell
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Pegwell, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Ramsgate station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Chilton Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Pegwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What we are called out for in Pegwell
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Laurence, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Pegwell, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
